“After the Mayflower” begins in New England in the 1620s, at the time
of the so called ’first Thanksgiving”. In March of 1621, Massasoit chief
of the Wampanoag, negotiated a diplomatic alliance with a band of
English settlers for the benefit of his people. It was a gamble that paid
off for several decades, as Indians and colonists coexisted in relative
peace. A half century later, as a brutal war flared between the English
colonists and a confederation of New England Indians, the wisdom of
Massasoit's choice seemed less clear.
